keeping the Boys on the Farm.


1t is all very well when you have
nothing to do but kill time, to talk
about keeping the boys on the farm,
but you might just as well spend yous
time splitting at a crack. Boys will
stay on farm just as we'll as any
where, if they receive decent treatment
at home The boy that is yanked out
of bed by the hair, kicked out to milk
and be cuffed in to breakfast, as pre-
liminary to being popped through the
field all day is not likely to be consumed
by his love for the glories of agriculture
nor for his sire. Give the boy fair
show. aud he will stay by you till the
COWS come home.
If you are so mean they can't stay
Anme, don't you go to your neighbors
win hypocritical sniff1e and tell about
your boys ingratitude after you have
raised him. You raised him once too
often and they all know you. Your
wife has stood your meanness for years
and probably will bear it until she folds
her tired hands across her bosom for the
last time; but you will be safe enough
in betting your brindle COW that your
boy will go unless you treat him de-
Gently. Just paste this in your hat and
refer to it when you hear of "a boy run
aing away from home.

The Old-Fsshioned Tinder-Box.
L hamb IS journal. !

During our last spring cleaning
ularly known as the spring feVer"-I
was rummaging in an old cellar, and
turned up, among many relics of the
good old times, y a certain japanned box,
nine inches long by half an inch broad
1t contained a numoer OF small articles.
notably piece of steel with a handle
like the Gro Ter of bishop; a match or
two of rough deal splinters, cut to a
point and besmeared with birthstone a
piece of tint, and bit of charred linen
with fusty smell. This linen was
blackened by having been set on fire
and rapidly extinguished by putting a
fat piece of lead upon it. This was the
old finder box, from which many a
good fire, which had cooked many a
good dinner, had been lighted; from
which the morning candle of merchants
and tradesmen had been lit, and to
which they owed much of their wealth.

Undermining the English Language.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Formerly people concerned themselves
much less about the undermining of
the foundations of the English Ian
guage." If they wanted a new word
they invented it. 1t appeared unchal-
lenged, and if it seemed a good service
able word, was promptly adopted Now,
hue and cry is raised over each limo
walton, and the crystallization of slang
and its adoption into the family of le-
Ultimate English is violently opposed
There is something very fatiguing
about absolutely proper language; the
vigorous terseness and spicy novelty of
slang is relief to the human ear,
which rebels at monotony; and then
slang is not very respectable, which
must give it a charm to all daring spir-
its. The only comfort that one can get
out of the Philistines is to experiment
on them, to study their various idiosyn-
crasies. There is no way of finding out
peoples limitations so easy, as tenta-
lively discovering what will shock
them. The chief charm of Bohemia is
that one meets there persons that can
not be shocked.

A Curious Collection of Swords Some

Washington Republican,
Adit. Gen. Cameron had just put
some finishing tou hes to the swords
that he placed upon the walls of the
rooms of the national headquarters of
the Grand Army of the Republic at 1106

You would be astonished at the variety

the Lattle fields, as we'll as swords, no

ger made of an old-time Spanish sword.
The handle and blade would indicate its
nationality Many of the arms found
were of English or continental make.
Another strange thing will mention
is that the United tates has no museum
that contains any specimens of old-time
foreign manufactures of weapons. The
war offered this government a fine
chance to make sLch gathering. The
collections of old arms made and stored
in the museums of the government
were finally sold for old iron to the junk
man. Upon these walls | have placed,
as you can see, many samples of swords.
Here, for instance, is what nearly every
one calls sword. 1t is not one. 1t is
an old time German bayonet. No one
can tell its age. Again, you will see

in good order, and as they stand they
illustrate the progress made in the
science and manufacture of such things.

The Rothchilds at Home.
London World.l

Baron and Baroness Alphonse de
Rothschild have been entertaining
large party of relatives and intimate
friends at Terriers, which is the finest
modern mansion in France. It is
magnificent place. crammed in every
corner with old furniture, china, pict-
ures and art treasures of all sorts and
descriptions The house is an immense
pile, something in the style of Ment-
more, but much larger. The kitchens
are detached and connect with the
house by an underground passage,
which is traversed by a tramway, on
which the dishes are conveyed.
Ferrieres is place of considerable
historical interest, as the Emperor
William resided there in the autumn
of 1870, and it was in the smoking
room that Prince Bismarck and Jules
Fayre held their famous interview.
Baron Rothschild has an extensive
chase in the vicinity and the gardens
are superb.

Cheese as an Article of Diet.
TEvoIan ora

Every American family should make
cheese an article of diet, taking the
place of more costly foods. Our basis
for eating cheese is all wrong. 1t is
eaten with pie. Do away with the pie,
and eat cheese in the place of meat or
as partial substitute for it. To crowd
pie and cheese iuto a stomach already
crammed is to invite the doctor and en-
courage patent medicine. Better eat
cheese as a food. spiced with good
sauce, and patronize your own welfare.
More cheese, more COWS. More COWS,
better farms and more comforts at
home.

Cured by Faith and Prayer.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
An alleged case of faith cure, which
is said to have just occurred at the
county infrmary at Canton, is at
tracing considerable attention IN this
city. The subject OF the remarkable
cure is a beautiful girl named Lucy
zimmerman, who has been bed-ridden
for q period of eight years with what
was said by her attending physician
to be an incurable disease. The girl
and her mother, who is g. widow, were
brought to the infirmary from Alliance
several months ago. They had once
been in comfortable circumstances,
but reverses and the sickness OF the
daughter reduced them to abject pow
erty, necessitating their removal to
the infrmary. The mother was in
cure at the suggestion OF Peter
Chance. g. prominent citizen here.
Miss Ella Holm, secretary OF the w.
G. Z. U. here, who says she was once
restored to health by means of prayer,
was called in to officiate in the faith
cure. After the first prayer the in
valid young lady, it is said, showed
signs OF Improvement, and in q short
time those about the infrmary
thought they noticed a more health
full look upon her face and better
light to her eyes, which had long been
dulled by her sickness. The improve.
ment was rapid, it is asserted, and
the prayers continued daily, and to-
day word came from Infirmary Super
intendenJ Pontius that the invalid,
who had never been able TO arise from
her sick-bed for eight years, could
walk about her room. The mother of
the girl and all others interested in
this sensational case are overjoyed at
the success of the faith cure, and the
prayers will be continued until the
Invalid is restored to complete health,
which all interested think will be
brought about in avery short time

A Woman Did 1t.

A rather laughable story is that an
ent the origin of blue tinted paper, once
so much in vogue for commercial uses
The wife of an English paper manu-
cturer named William East, going
n to the factory on the domestic
washday with an Old-fashiOned bluing
bag and it's contents fall into q vat
full OF pulp. She thought nothing of
the incident, and said nothing about
it either to her husband Or his work
men. Great was the astonishment of
the latter when the paper turned out
peculiar blue color, while the mas
ter was wroth at what he regarded as
some gross carelesness on the part of
some of the hands. His wife-wise wo-
man kept her own counsel. The lot
OF paper was regarded as unstable,
and was stored for four years. At
length East consigned it to his Lon
don correspondent with instructions
to sell it for what it would bring. The
unlucky paper was accepted as hap
PLY designed novelty, and was dis
posed of in open market at g. consid-
cradle advance in price. Judge of Mr..
East's surprise when he received from
his agent an order for O. large invoice
OF the despised blue paper. Here was
pretty dilemma; he was tic tally ignor
ant of the manner in which the paper
had become blue in color. and in his
perplexity mentioned the matter to
his wife. She promptly enlightened
her lord; he in turn kept the simple
process secret, and was for years the
monopolist of the blue commercial pa
